She was just a regular, unwanted kid, until she was lucky enough to get a job under the best magician in the world! Unfortunately for her, her new boss is a self absorbed jerk.

@PennyDerps: Assistant name start with an R, but if she was adopted by a Gloomversian family, it could be her true name that we see a glimpse of because she's from another country like Statoverse or something.

The Dark Overlord obviously had his eye on Assistant since birth, since he actively kept her from her hat. But, why her, and at such an early age? It couldn't be as simple as "She was born with immense power for nooo reason." It also probably isn't how the Dark Overlord gets his underlings, since Harold is speculated to have sought him out. I reckon the reason why he singled out Assistant is linked with her ancestors. Those ancestors might be these people here! The baby is also a very specific detail, and I noticed that there's light on the underside of the cloth, where the woman's hands are. If she's giving that baby her power, for fear that she won't make it, and if that baby is one of Assistant's ancestors, that could explain why!

@THAT guy: I didn't notice that glow before, but I think I see what it is now: I noticed that the woman's skin has a yellow look to it, so I'm pretty sure she's Yellow. Since she's holding the cloth, it's starting to turn yellow, like when Red gave Indigo her glove to prove he was the "real deal".

@Mara DragonClaw: I may have overlooked something, right now I'm not actually sure if she is yellow or its just magic. The only evidence against her being yellow is her skin color, but that might be just a shade of yellow... Idk its too early to tell.

@Some random person :and then I see everyone else has come to the same conclusion as me...except I think the baby gets blasted by the dark lord and that's how the baby gets the magical powers and this isn't any dream its memory's

Ooooooor, but is totally improbable, when the baby gets blasted by Ama-whatever, it is TP like with Wallis, but as it is way more powerful (or maybe not) the baby who is in fact Assistant appears in the "present" with the powers of ama-whatever somehow, and lives an "unhappy/unnormal" life without her wand and hat til now. Or maybe that's not the case. Who knows. Probably CQ. >-<

I think assistant is a decedent from those rainbow people. And that figure could probably be her great grandparent, unless the baby is. So maybe the reason assistant didn't get her hat was because they wanted to avoid things like this? Idk

Assistant must be related to the Dark Overlord or that shadow person, (obviously) because i realized both of them have their wands in spirals. Also they have almost simular hair (when she didnt have rainbow dreads) Im not saying its her, but i think it definetly had to to something with ancestors or somethin.

Assistant, or as been hinted at, Rainbow, is the Dark (Evil?) Overlord.

Hear me out.

Black is the presence of all color. Rainbows are representations of all color. The Dark Overlord has been singling people of the colors (such as Indigo, Blue, ect.) in these memories. However, they didn't seem quite... dead. They were lying in blurs on the floor. What if, the Dark Overlord was the "Rainbow" of that time period? What if, this "Rainbow" didn't think it was enough, and tried to gain more magic through absorbing the color out of the color people of the time? However something probably went "wrong" when the Dark Overlord tried to get Yellow, which resulted in them attempting to escape through an outlet they knew they'd be safe - Yellow's baby.

From here, the Overlord most likely followed the family tree down, to our dear Assistant (aka Rainbow), who comes around when all the other color people like her do. It explains why Assistant didn't get her hat as a child, as it was the Dark Overlord's old one, and they probably waited both to confirm she was the one, and to give it to her at the right time.

It also would explain why the Dark Overlord isn't replying to Harold. They're too busy with Assistant at the current moment, making his calls nothing but a mosquito to they're ear.

And that's it! *drops mic*
I spent an hour trying to phrase this holy heck-

Scrolling through the comments I've seen a lot of people saying that women with the yellow hair might be Yellow and other people saying that she can't be Yellow because her skin and clothes aren't yellow but in Purple's flashback his clothes, skin and hair weren't all purple and look at the cloth swaddling the baby it's turning yellow under her touch and remember Red's glove tured indigo when Indigo put it on, and while we're talking about the baby I think that the baby is assistant's ancestor who will receive the “rainbow powers” as a result of whatever is about to happen. These people may also be the ancient civilization that Nim was studying way back in Clouds and Cathedrals

I think she's the colour yellow not because she has yellow hair but because, if you look closely, the baby's blue blanket appears to be turning yellow where the woman is touching it. But then again, it could just be lighting, but I really don't think so.

And this might be an obvious conclusion to draw, but I believe the baby could possibly be assistant. but then again, it wouldn't make sense for assistant to have this flashback when she was a baby at the time of the event.

I think the yellow of the past (? If its a flashback) is an ecoversian too, like the people behind her, based on her skin tone and tattoos
(I'm assuming that they are a "she" sorry if I'm wrong)

Points that may prove they are Yellow:
-yellow hair
-brownish yellow skin
-white tattoos
-yellow tears
-the baby blanket (?) is turning yellow where she is holding it
-(I think the only reason some of her clothes don't look yellow is because of the purple-toned shading)

Time to clarify. Remember the ancient ruins Lady Nim was researching, thats what this is. Whatever's happening here is long before Assistant was born so she's not the baby. Second, those are not color people because everything is their color, i.e. their skin and clothes. There's plenty of other colors on them. Third, Assistant's name is not mentioned here, and I think we won't get it for a while.

I mean, there's a lot of yellow going on here. If she were Yellow, it could be that this is her before becoming Yellow/in the process of becoming Yellow. But there's no telling who this is yet. That brings up another question: If the color people aren't born color people, how exactly did they all become that way?

Side note, I don't believe the "Ama-" is referring to assistant. After all, she herself stated her name starts with an R.

@Loverofpiggies: There's something I always wanted to ask, when Hobo moved in with Wallace, Assistant, and Harold way back when, what did he 'do'? Did he help around the place, or stay true to his name?

I feel like assistant may be adopted and that's her real mom, or it's her grandma holding Assistants mom? Assistant looks a lot like her, so I wouldn't be surprised if they're related. I'm more leaning towards the Mom theory though... Also they maybe know assistant because doesn't assistants name start with an "A"? Just a theory though. Keep up the good work CQ!

What is 'assistants' true name I know it starts with an R but even in her dreams they don't know her name so what if she doesn't know her own name?Because dreams come from the brain or are visions so why don't her mind/dream know her real name! O_O

Theory: Judging by what we know in terms of lettering (R and now, possibly, Ama) Assistant could be Amarillo. Which is Spanish for yellow. When she met Wallis she was probably gonna introduce herself by her nickname which could have been something like Rillo! (Its stupid ik)

...Wait a second.
Isn't there a mountain range in one of the countries called the Amadeus Mountains? Amadeus is a name right-- are the mountains named after that person?
I think the mountains are in Gloomverse. Amadeus doesn't fit with the color/light theme-- it translates to 'Love of God'-- kinda sticks out a little.

Amadeus is derived from Latin words, amare or 'to love' and Deus, meaning 'God'. Spanish has roots in Latin as a Romance Language, so it's unsurprising that there are similarities. But the most famous person with the name Amadeus was actually Austrian-- the composer Mozart's full name was Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
